Kelly Wayne Stouffer, (born July 6, 1964), was a former American football quarterback in the NFL.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StouKe00.htm?redir )〕 He spent most of his career with the Seattle Seahawks from 1988–1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nfl.com/players/kellystouffer/profile?id=STO686132 )〕 He graduated from Rushville High School in Rushville, Nebraska and attended Colorado State University. He is a television color analyst for college football games on ESPN/ABC, and was formerly with the NFL on FOX, Versus, MountainWest Sports Network and Minnesota Vikings pre-season games. At the conclusion of his collegiate career, he achieved notoriety when, after being selected by the Saint Louis Cardinals in the first round of the 1987 NFL Draft, he sat out what would have been his rookie year due to an inability to agree on a contract. The following season, the Cardinals traded his rights to the Seattle Seahawks, who listed Stouffer as third-string behind starter Dave Krieg and veteran backup Jeff Kemp. Krieg would be sidelined with a separated shoulder, and the following week Kemp was ineffective starting in place of Krieg and was benched in favor of Stouffer by halftime. Stouffer endeared himself to Seattle fans in one play where, after having his nose broken, he threw for a long gain resulting in a touchdown. For several weeks, Stouffer filled in until Krieg returned to the lineup. Stouffer seemed to regress in the eyes of Seahawk coaches over the next couple of years, and fell back to third string behind Kemp. Once Seahawk head coach Chuck Knox was replaced by Tom Flores and Dave Krieg was let go, Stouffer won the starting job, beating out Dan McGwire and Stan Gelbaugh. Stouffer was injured in week 5, and the Seahawks started the season 1-4. After McGwire was quickly injured, journeyman Gelbaugh became the starter, yielding the job to Stouffer once Stouffer recovered. Stouffer, who seemed to have been showing a return to his rookie form just before his injury, was never the same, however, and Gelbaugh quickly became the established starter. The following season, Stouffer was released. Stouffer was signed by the Carolina Panthers to a free agent contract in May 1996 but lasted less than one season. In 2000, Stouffer finished his B.S. degree in biology from the Colorado State University College of Agricultural Sciences and became the first undergraduate to earn that degree via the college's distance learning program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Colorado State Quarterback is First Undergrad to Earn College of Agricultural Sciences Distance Education Degree )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kelly Stouffer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
